Hi guys!
Been reading the forums in the last few days trying to learn everything I need to create my own ROM. I've learned a lot, thanks to your input and very interesting discussion! You guys are beasts.
So I had this idea of creating a new ROM with, for example, the following teams (please add any suggestions!):
- All-time* best [country] born (federov with ovechkin, for example)
- All-time best [franchise] players (have crosby w/ lemieux, gretzky/mcdavid, laine/selanne, etc.)
- Rookie team (Rookie Lemieux, Selanne, Crosby, Bossy, Nieuwendyk, Larmer...)
- Undrafted / late picks?
- Small Form factor, jumbos, ...
- Etc.
*all time, or maybe since ... 1980
I'm not really familiar with leagues, but I think this would not be suitable for leagues. I'm just doing this for fun.
-> Obviously I have players from different eras, sometimes even the same player from 2 different years. I think the only way I can build these rosters is based on stats. Also, since i have players from a while back, I can't used advanced stats. I MIGHT or might not get creative here and there depending on how my ratings come out.
Anyways my question would be: there is so much information all over this forum on some of the attributes; but is there a widely respected or accepted approach to defining all attributes? Any known approach? I know OFF was based on points, def on +/- if I'm not mistaking, but how about speed and agility, etc.? I did see one thread asking this specific question, but it appears to have died before it was completely debated.
An alternative approach to stats would be to find an extraction of all games attributes from 93 and up and readjust them on the same scale. But that would leave out all players from before those games. Unless I use another method for them....! Better stick to all stats based.
Any ideas? Did I miss and obvious source of information in my research? Team ideas?
Oh! And I saw there are bugs that need to be fixed (weigth bug on gens). Anything else? Cool features that can be implemented in the roms? I was planning to use NOPE, btw.
Hope this post isnt too messy.
Thanks guys, have fun playing!

This is the last version my ROM edit from pixelpuck.com (RIP) around 2013. There is an NHL91.com ROM on the master list, however, I believe this may be from the Season 2 draft, when @angryjay93 beat @Freydey in 5 games. Here are some way-back pics of the blog from season 2:
Okay, as to the new update from around 2013, here are the biggest changes:
FEATURES:
Scanned media guide photos from 90-91 for every player card.
Remastered sprite fields two colors for helmets and one for sleeve piping for the most accurate uniforms possible [HUDB].
Meticulously rated, NHL players from after the 90-91 trade deadline, completely overhauled from the original ROM edit.
26 man rosters: 15 forwards, 8 defensemen, and 3 goalies.
Team ratings based on team performance (home PTS %), road warrior rating (away PTS %), special teams (PP% – PPGF, and PK% – PKGAA), offensive prowess (GF/G and GF), defensive stoutness (GAA) [EARE].
New control read method. Goalie control is now mapped to the (Y) button. Controls must be calibrated to the 6 button configuration to use this feature. [SpritesMind]
Refined system that narrows attribute increments for more accurate player ratings.
NHL91 splash screens.
NHL91 logo for the Zamboni and team selection.
NHL91 timer logo.
90-91 crease and improved nets.
New font.
Checking – speed burst multiplier adjustment.
Adjusted fatigue meters.
Hot – cold ratings fix.
Weight bug fix.
Assist bug fix.
Puck-drop organ tunes have been matched to the correct teams
A longer, louder, different sounding goal horn that more closely resembles the ones used in current NHL arenas [YT].
NHL 90-91 Recap
Penguins Win 8-0 in Game 6 @ Minnesota to win their first Stanley Cup
Brett Hull scores 86 goals
4 players score more than 50 goals
Guy Lafleur plays his last NHL game with Quebec
Several future, and potential future, HOFers played their first NHL games
Fedorov
Recchi
Hasek
Jagr
Bondra
Sundin
All-Star Game is held in Chicago.
Super Series took place between three Soviet teams (CSKA Moscow, Dynamo Moscow, Khimik Voskresensk) and the NHL. The Soviets won the series 12-6-3
Chicago wins The Presidents Trophy and is bounced in the division semis by Minnesota in 6 games
Art Ross goes to Gretzky
Norris goes to Bourque
Vezina goes to Belfour
Conn Smythe goes to Lemieux who missed more than 50 games
Hartford Whalers don't even know that they're moving to Carolina in a few seasons and are too busy enjoying one of the best logos of all-time to notice
No one in the hockey world knows who Gary Bettman is and everyone is thankful
Also, a bunch of other stuff happened and it was all pretty cool since it was the 90s'
Notes
Speed burst is cut in 1/2. You really have to line up your checks and breakaways are harder to chase down if you get caught pinching
Ratings are more akin to EA's current games, and as a result the game plays better with line changes
Endurance is greatly reduced as well, one or two scoring chances and you'll need to go for a change or your line will be out of gas, which forces you to roll lines

Hello Everyone! I have now finished the BETA version of this rom, so I'll release it for people to play while I make it better. I used NOSE to edit Skip and Slapshot's Playoff rom(Under his permission). I plan to add a new title screen, Different rating, and remove a few players.
Notes:
Sedin brothers will be in for one last time
Only the lines are editied, but by the time the rom is complete, it will be much, much different(ok maybe a stretch)
Sorry Winnipeg fans: I couldn't edit the lines to make it 2v2, NOSE wouldn't let me, so it still has 5 players on a line.(This will change)
Same goes for NHL 94 all-stars, which are also still 5 players
Thank you for your patience!

Kinda sparse, especially for such an excellent game, wouldn't you say? What are the hidden things that we know of so far? The ones I can think of off the top of my head are...
NHLPA '93 music
Weight bug
Ice time tracking
What else is there?

99% credit to Skip for the great work on the original ROM.
1% credit to me for making it 2 on 2.
There is probably some screw ups here and there but it's my first time using NOSE.
Let me know what I did wrong and I'll (try to) fix it .
